Long Stride Books publishes high-quality fiction for young readers. Our novels for young adults are strong narratives, with believable characters who contend with challenges that are very real, often urgently so, for young people growing up in today’s world. As our tagline says, we publish “Empowering Stories” — fiction that, without moralizing or offering easy answers, can help young people to explore real issues, with honest humanity and an important element of humor.
